An elderly couple from Musapala village in Nabarangpur district has resorted to begging after not receiving their government pension for three months. Daitari Bhatra, who is around 70 years old and has vision impairment, travels between villages with his wife Bal Bhatra to survive. The couple has two mentally ill children and finds the monthly 10kg rice assistance insufficient. Despite receiving regular aid previously, the sudden halt in pension has forced them into a state of extreme poverty, leading local intellectuals to demand immediate administrative intervention.
